Wrolf,

Zero's right to question my conclusion is not what my beef with him is
about.  He fell victim to a phenomenon that I still don't understand.  That
is if you walk into a crowded room and yell "HEY STUPID" half the people
turn and look and some fool loudly proclaims "YOU CAN'T TALK TO ME LIKE
THAT".  Zero was this groups fool.  Then when he realized what a stupid
thing he did he tired to back peddle.  Dumb, Dumb, Dumb!!!

As for your invite to dive with you, I hope you don't take this the wrong
way but, I am VERY selective about who I dive with.  More than 3/4 of all
of my dives are with the same 7 or 8 people.  One of the 7 or eight I have
more than 300 dives logged with in the last 6 years.  All but a few of the
remaining dives are with students when I am assisting an instructor with
classes (every thing from OW to tri mix).  If you don't come with a
recommendation from one of the divers I respect I don't dive with you.
That is not a personal thing it is just the way I operate.  And as for
diving off of Zero's boat, well lets put it this way, does not in this
lifetime mean anything to you???  That IS personal!
